Beskrivelse
Once a reluctant science teacher, Becky Schnekser now takes her elementary-aged scientists on virtual field trips to the Amazon, spelunking explorations right in the classroom, and all-weather research trips to the school's rainwater collection ponds. Refusing to accept the worn-out excuses about why science has become an afterthought in elementary education, in Expedition Science, Schnekser demonstrates how you can immerse young learners in authentic, exciting science and thus empower them to engage, discover, and lead. With real-life examples that put you right in the middle of the action, and specific details of hands-on classroom science and the pedagogy behind it, Expedition Science will serve as your go-to guide as you work to disrupt tired ways of teaching science and instead turn your students into enthusiastic explorers of the world all around them.
"Part fearless cave-exploring field researcher and part P. T. Barnum, Becky Schnekser is every bit the science teacher that Ms. Frizzle aspired to be: colorful, vibrant, and larger-than-life. Brimming with ideas and busting with heart and humor on each page, Expedition Science is packed with all kinds of strategies to help teachers rekindle their passion and learn how to create classrooms that bring life, joy, and relevance back to all-too-stodgy science classrooms. In a word? It's magic."-John Meehan, author of EDrenaline Rush
"Expedition Science is the science book I've been waiting for my entire career.
Becky makes science fun, she makes it important, her ideas make it engaging,
and maybe most of all, Becky makes it doable for any teacher."-Adam Welcome, author of Teachers Deserve It
"Now more than ever, it's important to foster a love of learning science in
students from a young age, and Expedition Science is a catalyst for that. The
examples Becky presents, the connections she makes, and the resources she
provides are practical and easy to implement for educators at all levels." -Becky Thal, fifth-grade math/science teacher and educational consultant
